New Delhi, Oct 26: Moves are afoot in the Congress
to issue show-cause notices to four Kerala ministers in the
wake of the party's debacle in the Ernakulam Lok Sabha
bypoll.
AICC sources here, while declining to give the names of
the four, said they will be asked whether they made certain
statements which were being viewed against the party by the
central leadership.
However, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee President K Muraleedharan said he did not think that serving show-cause notices would defuse the crisis in the state unit of the party.
"I don't think troubles in the party would be solved by issuing show-cause notices to a few persons," Muraleedharan told reporters in Thirivananthapuram from Kozhikode.
Muraleedharan said AICC General Secretary Ahmed Patel, in charge of the state party affairs, had called him and informed about the matter.
Reports had it that the party was to slap show-cause notices to Kadavur Sivadasan, P Sankaran, K V Thomas and K Sudhakaran for indulging in "indiscipline" by making public statements in the wake of the party's defeat.
While Sivadasan and Sankaran belong to the Karunakaran faction the other two are from rival camps.
Infighting in congress in Kerala has, of late, assumed fratricidal dimensions with Karunakaran and anti-Karunakaran factions hurling charges at each other at parallel conventions organized across the state.
